### 3.3 Step 3. Initialize MD Buffer

A four-word buffer (A,B,C,D) is used to compute the message digest. Here each of A, B, C, D is a 32-bit register. These registers are initialized to the following values in hexadecimal, low-order bytes first):

              word A: 01 23 45 67
              word B: 89 ab cd ef
              word C: fe dc ba 98
              word D: 76 54 32 10
